Great Sen of Goi, seo at Thy feet 

My heart's best treasure, for Thy hands unmeet, 

If in this casket Thou sha3t find 

Aup-ht to adorn Thy way, or he3p mankind, 

Take it, o Heart of Love Divine, 

Pnd use it as Thou wiit, for it is Thine.

3 ed to consider one or two typicall passages usually he3d 
to support a eontrsry viev/, and ss his '^lini begins to 
rest upon a hopefuQ solution of the question, other ob- 
iections of a phi JosophicaJ character reflating to free- 
dom, Haw etc. rise to confront him. 

After considering these and the questions to which 
they give rise and sti3 3 feeding that love must be in 
theend triumphant, he appeals to the risen 5^aviouj[' to 
sho'.v the manner and extent of His victory, that his souj 
may rest in quiet on a sure foundation. 

The Paviour relates to him the experience of Pis pas- 
sion as a pledge of His final and complete victor/ over 
evil . 

"'^erfect rest and peace take possession of the stu- 
dent's mirid as he hears a chant of triumph sung by the 
hea'"'enly hosts, hailing the gure victory of love.
